Kylie Jenner goes nude for Playboy photoshoot, shows you can be sexy and still be a badass mom
Kylie Jenner is the talk of the town as she featured on the sizzling cover of the latest 'Pleasure Issue' of Playboy magazine. The 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians' star also posed nude for the photoshoot that was directed by her partner Travis Scott.
In the cover story, snippets of which have been previewed by People, Kylie opens up about motherhood and sexuality to Travis in an intimate interview. "You remind me that motherhood and sexuality can coexist, and just because you embrace your sexuality doesn’t mean you have loose morals or you’re not a good mother," she tells him. "You can be sexy and still be a badass mom.”
Playboy's executive editor Shane Michael Singh told People that the magazine's 'Pleasure Issue' is "dedicated to the principle that pleasure is a human right, that everyone should be free to pursue pleasure in all of its forms."
When Travis asked her why she thinks their relationship has been successful, she said, "We think the same and have the same goals and passions in life. Besides the fact that we have good chemistry, we have a lot of fun together. You’re my best friend. Through all the ups and downs that every relationship has, we evolve together through them and keep getting stronger."
Kylie revealed that she never thought she would pose for Playboy but became convinced to pose for the 'Pleasure Issue' after finding out that Travis would be the creative brains behind it. "When you presented me with the idea—that you would be behind the cover and creative direction and be in control of the images—I thought it was a perfect fit because I trust you and your vision," she says.
Playboy's creative director Erica Loewy shone some light on the artistic thought process behind the shoot and said Scott's "mood board" had "evoked emotions of pleasure, freedom, and sensuality, juxtaposed with innocence, an ode to their love, and the beauty of Kylie being captured through their lover's perspective."
"Providing an intimate space for Kylie and Travis to express themselves freely and artistically is really what it’s all about," she added.
So, what does Kylie get the most pleasure from? "Doing things that people say I can't do!" she says.
Other Playboy bosses were similarly pleased with the couple. Anna Wilson, the magazine's multimedia director, called the rapper a "creative genius," with Ariela Kozin, who edited the cover story, gushing about how the story "shows us the depth of Travis's and Kylie's love for one another."
While the 'Pleasure Issue' is only set to hit stands on September 17, it is already available for purchase on the magazine's official website, where a description reads, "The Fall 2019 quarterly of PLAYBOY is an issue dedicated to pleasure. It is a celebration of the things that bring us joy: sex, art, food, music, spiritual connection, travel, cannabis, and community."
"In this issue, we aren't only showcasing the artists and creators who bring us joy; we're also shining a light on visionaries and revolutionaries who are fighting to expand access to pleasure for all," the description continues.
Besides Kylie and Travis, the issue will also feature the likes of Thomas Middleditch, Toro y Moi, King Princess, Anand Giridharadas, Marilyn Minter, Keith Hufnagel, Catherine Lacey, Edward Norton, Simon Hanselmann, as well as plus Playmates Hilda Dias Pimentel, Gillian Chan and Jordy Murray.
